STOLE SACK OF FLOUR
C. E. Gravel reports that a
young man from about ten miles
north, drove up to tlie mill at
quarter past three last Saturday afternoon, took a sack ol
dour without paying for it and
drove away. When the theft
was detected a moment later,
and when still in hailing* distance, the fellow was told to
comeback, but be whipped his
horses into a gallop instead, up
the main street to upper town.
He slackened his pace at tin
square and seemed about tc
drive to Hartmann's hitchin;.
post, but looking back anc
seeing Arthur Schauble coming ti]) the middle of the street.
giving him chase, he again
turned his horses into the road
and quickly disappeared ovei
Preiner's hill. Capt. lias not
yet decided what to do with tht
fellow, but says he may make
tn example of him. If small offences go unpunished, for whicl
the penalty is light, the offendei
usually grows in criminal pro
pensities, and soon becomes de
serving of a term in Stillwater.
BUTCHER HEALTHY ANIMALS.
There area few essential point.*1
that should be observed in so
lecting animals to butcher oi
the farm. The first consideratioi
should be given to the matter oi
health in the animal to be usee
for food- No matter how fat ai
animal may be nor how perfed
its form, if it is not in perfeci
health the best quality of meal
cannot be obtained. If the ani
inal suffering from fever or from
any serious derangement of tht
system the flesh will no
lie wholesome food. Flesh fron
animals that have been illbefon
slaughter is not likely to curt
well, and is very difficult to keej
after curing. Bruises, broker
limbs or like accidents all havt
the same effect on meat as illness and unless the animal cai
lie dressed immediately aftei
such accidents it is best not tc
use the meat for food. This
would be true especially if there
lias been a rise in temperature
of two or more degrees. Such a
rise in temperature just previous
to slaughtering is likely to result in stringy, gluey meat and
create a tendency to sour in
curing.
Animals that are in poorflesl
will not yield first-class meat,
while the texture may not be
bad in such meat it is essentia)
that a reasonable amount of fat
be present to give juiciness and
flavor to the flesh. The pi'esena
of large amounts of fat is not
essential and, in fact, it is often
wasteful. It is more important
that the animal be in good
health than, that it be extremelj
fat.—State Farm Press.
MELROSE MAN COMMITS SUICIDE
Paul Haei*. foreman intlieJos,
Ti.se cigar factory at .Melrose,
committed suicide la.st week by-
drinking carbolic acid. The
cause of the act, it is said, was
that he could not provide for
his wife and four children a
proper Christmas celebration.
Pristoner Flees While Guard Sleeps
St. Cloud, Minn. Dec. 20: Because his guard took off his
trousers in which the keys to
the cell were kept and because
the prisoner had the foresight
to make a long wire hook out
of a bed spring*. David Kckman.
the paroled inmate from the
date reformatory here, who had
been rearrested on the charge
>f robbing .Mrs. Adlena Rob-
diaw, residing near Dayton,
if $90, made his escape early
yesterday from the jail at Buff-
ilo and is now at large.
Eckman was originally sentenced for grand larceny in the
second degree.
Owing to the fact that the
iail is not fireproof, a guard
.vas placed over him. Wednes-
lay night Eckman kept the
ruard awake as long* as possible
lot letting* him retire until after
! o'clock yesterday morning.
The vigilant official removed his
•ants containing the keys to the
:ells and stretched out on a cot
right feet from the prisoner.
The former reformatory man
.vas not without ideas, however and using a long wire hook
>vhicli he bad made from his bed
.pring, he drew the chair closer
ind closer until it was within
■each of his hands ami lie got
he keys. Tiptoeing out of the
jail he made his break for liberty
intl probably caught an early
morning train.

LETTER from SASKATCHEWAN
Gull Lake. Sask*.. IXx. I*.'.
Pierz Journal!
Having moved to the city ot
Gull Lake for the winter months
and therefore I ask you to send
my paper to that place instead
of to Kich Prairie. Having
served my sentence on mv homestead, I am still obliged to
stay in the province for the winter to become a citizen next
May. I am sure that if some of
the boys who saw our country
three years ago should come
back, they would be very much
surprised at the i rogress made
during that time. We are also
promised a railroad, the C.N. R.
providing they get their extensions on several other branches,
for which application has been
made to the legislature at Regina. I would prefer to see the
smoke before banking on it.
Crops have be* ri very grood
here the past year in general.
A small percentage of farmers
—of which I am one-had the
misfortune ol sowing spring
threshed grain and had to re sow
the land with bar ey. There is
no market here ft . barley, we
may have to keep it until Kich
Prairie gets a bre ■ ery.
Land is going up in price
rapidly. Last week a transfer
was made near tO'.vn at $50 per
acre, although Ian 1 farther oul
can be bought for less money.
There is no question but what
large profits will be realized by
investors in the next few years,
as it can hardly b. realized what
amount of railroad work will
be done in south' rn Saskatch-
awan.
The weather is very much like
summer so far. We have had
snow yet. although it may not
last much longer.
Any one intert si »d in this part
of Canada may write to me.
Yours.
H. c Wilkes.
If some one wishes to
buy cheap Clo'hing, etc.
this will be their last
chance, as I will close up
my store at New Pierz
after New Years. If any
one wants nice winter ap=
pies at $3.00 a bri., they
can get them at Peter
Blake's at New Pierz.

Our shingles are manufactured
by one of the best mills on the
coast. Don't be fooled by in
inferior grade.

Shall We Have An Institute
Why not have a Farmers Institute this winter.-If yes. would
it not be a good idea to at the
same time have a general get-together meeting* and annual
creamery picnic. It is true, we
are a little late in making application for an institute, but
they may be able to "sandwich"
a day or two for us. Application
went forward today.

rise in temperature just previous
to slaughtering is likely to result in stringy, gluey meat and
create a tendency to sour in
curing.
Animals that are in poorflesl
will not yield first-class meat,
while the texture may not be
bad in such meat it is essentia)
that a reasonable amount of fat
be present to give juiciness and
flavor to the flesh. The pi'esena
of large amounts of fat is not
essential and, in fact, it is often
wasteful. It is more important
that the animal be in good
health than, that it be extremelj
fat.—State Farm Press.

LETTER from SASKATCHEWAN
Gull Lake. Sask*.. IXx. I*.'.
Pierz Journal!
Having moved to the city ot
Gull Lake for the winter months
and therefore I ask you to send
my paper to that place instead
of to Kich Prairie. Having
served my sentence on mv homestead, I am still obliged to
stay in the province for the winter to become a citizen next
May. I am sure that if some of
the boys who saw our country
three years ago should come
back, they would be very much
surprised at the i rogress made
during that time. We are also
promised a railroad, the C.N. R.
providing they get their extensions on several other branches,
for which application has been
made to the legislature at Regina. I would prefer to see the
smoke before banking on it.
Crops have be* ri very grood
here the past year in general.
A small percentage of farmers
—of which I am one-had the
misfortune ol sowing spring
threshed grain and had to re sow
the land with bar ey. There is
no market here ft . barley, we
may have to keep it until Kich
Prairie gets a bre ■ ery.
Land is going up in price
rapidly. Last week a transfer
was made near tO'.vn at $50 per
acre, although Ian 1 farther oul
can be bought for less money.
There is no question but what
large profits will be realized by
investors in the next few years,
as it can hardly b. realized what
amount of railroad work will
be done in south' rn Saskatch-
awan.
The weather is very much like
summer so far. We have had
snow yet. although it may not
last much longer.
Any one intert si »d in this part
of Canada may write to me.
Yours.
H. c Wilkes.
If some one wishes to
buy cheap Clo'hing, etc.
this will be their last
chance, as I will close up
my store at New Pierz
after New Years. If any
one wants nice winter ap=
pies at $3.00 a bri., they
can get them at Peter
Blake's at New Pierz.

Shall We Have An Institute
Why not have a Farmers Institute this winter.-If yes. would
it not be a good idea to at the
same time have a general get-together meeting* and annual
creamery picnic. It is true, we
are a little late in making application for an institute, but
they may be able to "sandwich"
a day or two for us. Application
went forward today.
